Actually it's slightly misleading. It will not require root to install, but if your phone already has an existing version of Maps by default, you will still need root to remove the existing version before u can install the ownhere resigned version.
[Android Apps and Games] Luvsa Dawagiv:
My phone's market does not show any thing similar to root explorer. Can you give me the exact name of the root explorer that can be used for copy/paste function. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] numero:
Make sure you have root and this is what i do.

Use Titanium Backup to wipe and uninstall Maps.

Download map.apk to your phone.

Use Root Explorer to copy and paste map.apk into system/app.

Reboot phone and the 'new' map is in.

is it running continuously only with this "modified" ;) verison? or it runs even with original from market?
[Android Apps and Games] coradux:
I have one question. Navigation from Google Maps 5.10.0 doesn't work with TTS. I think it's a bug. Ownhere Navigation 5.10.0 has the same problem?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Pico tts and svox classic tts works find on my maps 5.10.0 .. ! ..

Maby the "bug" is in you're tts setup
[Android Apps and Games] coradux:
Maybe is something wrong with my firmware, I don't know. On my phone official Google Maps 5.10.0 doesn't work with TTS but ownhere 5.10.0 works just fine, as all other versions, official or modified. Doesn't matter anyway, as long as ownhere 5.10.0 works well.
[Android Apps and Games] Fri13:
I did like OP says, like you told and it is still impossible to install. Gives only "Could not install" error.

Seems like it has something to do with custom roms. I have tried CM7 and gsf-blade-b15 and b19 versions. Just impossible to install.

The 5.8 went well but 5.9 and 5.10 gives problems.

So simply, it does not work with everyone.

[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Nop.

Sorry mate I thought this was common knowledge.I mean how else would you places it in system/app adb or a file manager. And street view you download from marked and install it.. .. I will posted on first page...
[Android Apps and Games] isakilla:
I was wondering if I could get any help.

I live in a large city in South Korea, and I have a Korean Galaxy S 2 (m250k), Its rooted and the original maps worked fine.

I used titanium backup to backup the original, then wiped data and uninstalled as per the directions in the first post.

Afterwards I used Super Manager to copy maps.apk to the /system/apps folder.

I got the error triangles, and gave the app permission. The updated maps works fine, and can find locations around me. When I try to use the "get directions" button it says "No route found," and when I click on the button to open the Navigation it will continue loading until I exit, and after maybe 30 seconds says in English "Data Connection lost."

Have I made a mistake in installing it, or is it simply not localized for my area? The lack of errors, and the localized voice make me think its not an installation error, and instead that Google just doesn't have the data for Korea.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been searching for several hours on this post, and on other forums, and nobody seems to have had the same problem.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
you have installed correctly. maybe it is weak GPS signal where you are! take a GPS signal test you can find those on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] deepv84:
i have installed successfully but when i turn navigation on it tells me the root according right hand driving , we have left hand driving in india .

what should i do ????
[Android Apps and Games] Paparasee:
Hi Stian,

I've got a rooted Nexus S with a custom ROM (=Nexus MV 9.13=).

Before installing this rom, I included the maps5.10.0-ownhere-signed.apk file in the apps folder (removed maps.apk and street.apk). After the ROM was installed, I manually installed street.apk I now have the same problem as isakilla has posted in the post above mine ... that is:

I get "getting driving directions". It goes on and on ... 15 to 20 minutes and it still goes on before I just press the cancel button.
[Android Apps and Games] isakilla:
I had a poor to moderate signal on my GPS, I'm guessing there's not a software workaround to improving that though. The odd thing is that other Korean GPS programs work quite fast. Perhaps there's a different system used here or something.

Thanks anyways for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] ykphuah:
hmm, I used the precache map area function and then now my navigation is lost again....
[Android Apps and Games] teokcmy:
There is a version 5.8 on post #2 that does not require root to work, and it can coexist with the original map from the market. Isn't this a better option since it works on both rooted and non-rooted devices and saves the hassle of having to tb around?
[Android Apps and Games] CountRock:
Yes, but its a little buggy and its not updated to the latest 5.10!
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
You know, you could just use your latest 5.10, and when it comes to the navigation feature, there will be a popup asking u which version of navigation to use (if u have the 5.80 hacked version installed as well).

The Navigation feature has not has any updates for a long time, so using 5.8 with 5.10 is still quite a good combo for now. Only bad point is you can't access Navigation as an app directly - you have to start navigation within Maps.

Problems with Street View

Hello.

I'm sorry if this question has already solved.

I've Ramos W12HD. So, I'd installed Google maps 5.10 and Street View. But when I've try to see Street View, it says that I don't have any applications for google.streeview. Any ideas or point me to solve.

Renamed version of 5.10 maps for non rooted users

Hi, I couldn't find a renamed version (like the one with 4.6) of maps 5.10 which enables international navigation. The ones attached in the thread will only work with rooted users as there is already a pre-installed maps app which doesnt allow the new one to be installed.

Right now I have switched back to 4.6 but it will be good if we could have the renamed version for 5.10 which installs as a separate app (not maps).

yes they both are updated and the difference is

Maps.apk need root . Use Titanium Backup to wipe and uninstall Maps. Download map.apk to your phone.

i have don all

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

4. Install Google Maps 5.2.1 ownhere-resign.apk

5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.

BUT the maps try to install ,and i get the msg

is not installed,i try to recover the back up but cannot recover either so i end with no maps.

any idea.

Don't install the apk, instead use root explorer or terminal emulator to copy the maps5.2.1-ownhere.apk to system/app then reboot

Copy the apk file to /system/app, rather than "install the apk file" which was posted earlier.

Please i want to know how to fix this!...

I dunno about everyone else, but I got greatly decreased battery usage from maps (averages 15% even if I don't use my phone all day, now it's 2-4%) after installing this version, which leads me to believe that that this new version (or perhaps Maps 5.10.1) has greatly decreased the location polling.

either way this update is a keeper.

I would like to know if there will be a resigned version as I like it better than the one with the O... Also, I don't want to have 2 maps installed :p
[Android Apps and Games] aben2amu:
I want to know too about the resign version. The ownhere no root version is not working right, GPS locking is terrible.
[Android Apps and Games] vndnguyen:
it should be Maps.apk in the 1-st post, isn't it?

is this resigned version the attachment "Maps.apk" in the first post for rooted phone??

___________________________

this resigned verison works perfectly on my DHD

at first I got "Login Failed" message and didn't see 3 triangles to give permissions in the status bar

[Android Apps and Games] sgsI9003:
Just doing this for the 1st time hence few noob questions.

I downloaded the maps.apk resigned by you I have rooted xxkb3 on samsung i9003 should I be following this guide for installation since on step 4 it mentions to install "ownhere-resign.apk" where as I have downloaded a file which has different name.

Installation for root:

1. In Titanium Backup, select Maps and make a backup.

2. Select Maps and wipe data, then uninstall.

3. Select Street View and wipe data, then uninstall

4. Install Google Maps 5.x ownhere-resign.apk

5. Go to market, and reinstall street view.

Is it to be done every time when google updates or can I stop this update & stick with the current version v5.10.1?
